    Apparently a career in politics can be financially rewarding.
    In Canada, one only needs to be "in office" for a minimum of 3
    consecutive years and the person gets a life-long pension that
    could rival the average slog who toils all their life for one.

    I am not certain of the number of years they have to serve first, but
    the US is the same way. Add to that what some former Congresspeople
    and, IIRC, some Presidents charge for giving speeches after they leave office and you've got a pretty good payday for not much time served.

    For many as well are the jobs waiting for them in the companies they regulated/passed bills for.
